Dat's a 'gum. " I saw a rude box-trap made of rough boards. It seems these traps, and many other things, such as beehives, and tubs, etc., are frequently made in the South from a hollow gum-tree; hence the name gum has come to have a wide application. The ducks flew quite briskly that night; I could hear the whistle of their wings as I stood upon the shore indulging myself in listening.

My intimate friend, Leslie, had married a beautiful and accomplished girl, who had been brought up in the midst of fashionable life.
